Changes to DO and AS3 GitHub - no longer monitored

Yeah, you’re not the only one reading into this; it does feel like a quiet shift rather than a clearly announced change. From what’s visible, AS3 and DO have already been moving toward a more “maintenance/LTS” style lifecycle for a while, with fewer feature updates and more compatibility-focused releases . So the GitHub “no longer monitored” notice seems less like a sudden kill switch and more like F5 formalizing what was already happening behind the scenes.

I wouldn’t expect an immediate break in existing setups; these tools are still widely used and should continue working; but it’s a pretty strong signal to start planning around newer approaches (Central Manager, BIG-IP Next, or API-driven automation). The lack of a big announcement is frustrating, but historically F5 has been shifting direction gradually rather than making hard deprecation calls upfront. Here is another discussion where you can add value:
